Fly LAX-PVG (DL) non-stop, arriving at PVG at 6:30pm on the 18th. We'll leave PVG for NRT (JL) at noon on the 22nd. We return to PVG at noon on the 26th and will return to LAX (DL) later that night.
We'll bring hard copy of all tickets and hotel reservations (both Shanghai and Tokyo) and a printout of the relevant TWOV rules from Timatic.
Is this a simple enough situation such that we shouldn't expect any issues from DL staff in LAX?
FWIW, getting Chinese visas probably wouldn't be too difficult for us, given our close proximity to SF. However, our passports expire at the end of 2019, and ideally we'd apply for 10 year visas after the new passports are issued, so as to get more use from them.
Thanks in advance.
This itinerary qualifies for TWOV. The key to success is to give yourself plenty of time (an extra 60-120 minutes) in LAX to allow time for an expert agent to help you check in. You hopefully won't need the extra time, but if you allow for the possibility of a temporary issue at check in, you'll have a more relaxing experience.
